The Tatra mountains were affected by the strong windstorm named Alžbeta (Elisabeth) in 2004 and one year later by the fire. The disturbance affected all processes in the ecosystem. The research aimed on the evolution of changes of various landscape components after disturbance was established on 4 research plots with different post-windthrow management. The aim of the thesis is to determine the changes in soil properties on these plots, to compare them each other and to evaluate their evolution during the period since the disturbance to the present. Statistically significant differences were found in soil water content, soil reaction (pH/H2O), basal respiration and catalase activity. With regard to land management, some slight differences were found in soil water content and carbon concentration between the extracted and non-extracted plots. The reference plot differed significantly from the others in soil acidity and exhibited the most acid soil reaction and the lowest basal respiration. The plot after the fire differed from the others by the highest catalase activity and the smallest soil acidity.
